Anyone here mount their iPhones to a tripod for mobile photography? If so, what do you use? I'm thinking of getting the Glif, but I don't know if there are any better alternatives out there or not.

The Glif looks like a really good solution. It wasn't available when I made the much less elegant solution shown below, to mount my Galaxy Note 3 on a camera hot shoe. The Gif would replace the right-most component in the last photo.

I just ordered one of these,.

I'll stick it on a mini ball head, and have a much nicer solution than the old clunker shown above.

I use the MeFoto Sidekick 360. Arca swiss compatible or use it by itself.

I've used this as part of a dual mount. This holds the phone to a plate that has an arca-swiss plate and another mounting point for the camera. In essence, I have the phone for video to the left of the camera.

I know Really Right Stuff is coming out with a new phone mounting system soon. They posted something about it on their Facebook page a few weeks back.

It's available for pre-order now, but it's pretty expensive though!

About a month ago, after this thread was started, I bought a Neewer Smartphone Holder Tripod Adapter from amazon.ca for $8.99 CA. It works great. I attached some photos of it below, using the RRS BPnS-S generic plate for P&S cameras to mount it on a tabletop tripod. The BPnS-S plate costs more than four times the price of the smartphone holder.
